ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION
The Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust (LAMH) was founded in the 1960s by a group of Holocaust Survivors who met at a Hollywood ESL class. Realizing that they each possessed photographs, artifacts, concentration camp uniforms, or other precious objects imbued with stories of lives, families and communities that deserved to be commemorated and preserved in perpetuity, they founded The LAMH as a place of memory. Exhibitions include an interpretive installation of the permanent collection and traveling exhibitions throughout the U.S.
GRANT PURPOSE
The New Museum Building in Pac Pacific Park will be the museum's first permanent home in Pan Pacific Park.
